Make a Gift to the Fund for Greene Hill Today.

Generous support of the Fund for Greene Hill is the foundation for supporting our sliding-scale tuition model at Greene Hill School as well as professional development in academic areas, wellness and equity. We hope that families will make GHS their philanthropic priority and make personally significant contributions to the FFGH throughout the year. Remember it is our collective generosity that makes a big impact for all of our students and teachers!

The Fund for Greene Hill is the place where everyone in the Greene Hill community – parents, grandparents, and special friends – can come together to support the school we love.

Greene Hill School parents have had an enviable – and almost unheard of – record of almost 100% family participation in The Fund for Greene Hill for the past 15 years!  

The goal this year? Everyone contributes!

Greene Hill has a limited number of stakeholders at any one time and that makes the support of each family crucial to the well-being of the school.  This is why we ask that you make the Fund for Greene Hill a philanthropic priority while your child is a student here.

Gifts of all sizes support the school.  GHS has received gifts ranging from $25 to $25,000 and we appreciate gifts of any amount. Please consider a gift of $160, $1,600, $16,000 or 16% of your tuition this year in support of our 16th birthday!

FAQs

Greene Hill School has had an enviable – and almost unheard of – record of almost 100% family participation in The Fund for Greene Hill for the past 13 years!  

Why does the school need more money if families pay tuition? Doesn’t tuition cover the costs of running the school?

Tuition covers only about 90% of the cost of running the school in any given year. Greene Hill needs to raise the additional 10% each year just to meet our annual operating budget. This is similar to the challenges facing other independent schools.

Greene Hill School keeps tuition affordable with our sliding scale tuition model. Is this what causes the gap between tuition and operating costs?

Most independent schools have a gap between operating costs and tuition. Greene Hill’s financial model is in line with other independent schools of similar size and age.
